    It's both driving without insurance and giving false details to commit fraud. The name and address given were also likely to be false, which is another offense.
    Not something that requires a crime report so no crime number. 

    Where do you get the false name and address from? The OP reads like there's no insurance are you over thinking it?
    I was given a false name, phone number and insurance. I do know their actual address as they went into their house to get another male to try to intimidate me further into leaving without details.

    What a sad state of policing in this country that driving uninsured and providing your innocent victim with false details is not a crime worthy of even a crime number!

    It’s always been that way but you are entitled to an investigation. Most forces will allow you to report the matter online. Have you tried?
